Hello everyone! I'm Saori from Kawaii Republic!

This time, new goods themed after a cute restaurant have arrived! It seems that this restaurant, rumored to be delicious, has a very timid chef......?

[Sumikko Gurashi] A timid and cute Tanuki chef makes his debut!
New goods themed after a forest restaurant,
”Tanuki's Manmaru Restaurant,” are now open!

After eating delicious food, the Sumikko friends have grown big too!
The cute forest restaurant, ”Tanuki's Manmaru Restaurant,”
is now open!

This theme features goods inspired by a restaurant that newly opened in the forest! It seems a new 'Tanuki' has joined the group...... but he's so shy that he plays dead when spoken to, he's a bit bad at transforming, and because of too much taste-testing, he's gotten a bit fat...... I mean, big-sized!

While taking a walk to Tokage's house,
the Sumikko friends found a restaurant in the forest.
Its name is ”Manmaru Restaurant.”
The one running the shop is ”Tanuki.”

To cheer on the timid Tanuki, who is not good at customer service,
it seems the forest friends are helping out at the shop.
The Sumikko friends, who were hungry, decided to stay and eat.

Tanuki's handmade dishes were all superb,
and the Sumikko friends ended up becoming round themselves♪

Since the theme this time is a restaurant, goods related to cooking, chefs, and the newly debuted Tanuki have appeared! In addition to mini-sized plushies, keychains, tableware, and easy-to-use daily items like towels and pouches have been released!

This Tanuki is shy but a bit clumsy and just too cute, so he's becoming quite popular in Japan! Please check out this delicious and cute new goods theme for yourselves!
